If you are under criminal detention or arrested, only a lawyer can see you. According to current legal provisions, family members or friends are not allowed to meet criminal suspects and can only do so during court sessions. During this period, only lawyers can be entrusted to enter the detention center to meet with criminal suspects and defendants. Lawyers entering the detention center can learn about the following situations: whether your relatives and friends have been tortured to extract confessions, whether they have been bullied or abused by inmates in the same cell, provide legal advice and help, understand the charges and case details, and provide feedback on what your relatives and friends are concerned about and want to know about, and His or her situation inside, seeking to be released on bail pending trial, appealing for the defendant, etc.
Whether it is for relatives and friends or for the arrested criminal suspects or defendants, it is most conducive to protect their legitimate rights and interests by seeking the intervention of a lawyer as soon as possible.
After a family member is criminally detained, the detention authority will generally notify the family member in a timely manner. At this time, criminal detainees can also be visited, but the visitors can only be lawyers hired, not non-lawyers.
